This is Paquiao v. Margarito except with a much smaller Margarito. I expect a massacre. EVEN if pacquiao is not at his best, still no chance for rios.

Originally posted by turnedup View PostIt's a comeback fight which is why it's shocking, especially after taking a loss like he took one. Now he's getting back in there with someone who can rattle his brain with power, it's not that rios is a superb fighter by any stretch of the imagination it's that the kid punches hard like a mofo. Most other guys would take on a simpler less risky fight. That's why its shocking if he loses to Rios there is no coming back from it.

Originally posted by feroth View PostHuh? No sorry brave would have been fighting the WINNER of that fight. The guy who's long, rangy, can box and **** and drop that monster right too. Rios has power no doubt, but he pressures u in straight lines and is a sitting duck for Manny. This is gonna be like the Pacquiao vs Diaz fight, he needs a confidence boost and Rios is there to give it to him

for bhop to say that i guess is a manifestation that only fighters truly understand what another fighter is going through especially the emotional and psychological aspects of the game...something fans will never understand.
if you read the article, bhop wasn't even saying complicated things...he simply said pac is brave for taking on a big puncher like rios. just rios' power could spell the difference for a fighter like pac coming off a devastating ko loss. bhop doesn't have to bring up rios' skillset or the lack of it and yet some simpletons here are bringing up how rios is a bum and **** like that. yeah a bum with good power and a granite chin with a relentless style could be too much depending on pac's psychological state boxing-wise.
anyway, i don't agree that rios is a bum. he's just a very offensive minded fighter who chose to limit himself with such style. he doesn't care about defense and some fans just idiotically see skills in a defensive style.

At 140 he is nothing more than a gate keeper going 1-1 with (Alvarado) another gate keeper. At 147 he will have no success. Easy nights work for pac, but after his brutal KO I can't hold it against him for taking an easy one. If pac loses against Rios he should retire
